I've found myself in a bit of a mess after accidentally downloading something a while ago. It seems like I have one or more viruses causing chaos on my computer. My Chrome is behaving strangely, always redirecting to something called 'homesearchtab' instead of Google, and it's stuck using Bing or Yahoo. There's also an unremovable Chrome extension that claims it was installed by an administrator. I've noticed names like chromesteara, universal browser solutions, home search tab, and artificus web solutions popping up. If anyone has advice on how to deal with this, I'd really appreciate it! Let me know if you need any more details to help figure this out. Thanks!

You should definitely try running AdwCleaner. It's great for scanning and removing malware. Just follow the prompts and see what it finds—hopefully, it can help clean up the mess!
I tried that already, but it didn't get rid of the issue. Should I consider deleting and reinstalling Chrome instead?
